Convert Sun's radius to terameter
Please provide values below to convert Sun's radius [R_s] to terameter [Tm], or Convert terameter to Sun's radius.
1 R_s = 0.0006957 Tm. To convert Sun's radius to terameter, multiply the value by 0.0006957; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Tm = 1437.40117867 R_s). Both units measure length and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 R_s = 0.0006957 Tm
- 1 Tm = 1437.40117867 R_s
- 10 R_s = 0.006957 Tm
- 100 R_s = 0.06957 Tm
How to Convert Sun's Radius to Terameter
1 R_s = 0.0006957 Tm
Example: convert 15 R_s to Tm:
15 R_s = 15 × 0.0006957 Tm = 0.0104355 Tm

Sun's Radius
The Sun's radius is the distance from the center of the Sun to its surface, approximately 695,700 kilometers.
History/Origin
The size of the Sun has been measured with increasing accuracy over centuries of astronomical observation.
Current Use
The Sun's radius is a fundamental property of the Sun and is used in astrophysics to model its structure and evolution.
Terameter
A terameter is a unit of length in the metric system equal to 10^12 meters.
History/Origin
The prefix "tera-" for 10^12 was adopted by the CGPM (General Conference on Weights and Measures) in 1960.
Current Use
The terameter is used for measuring distances within our solar system, such as the distances of outer planets from the Sun.
Frequently Asked Questions
